What is Protect?

Protect

The Protect risk engine is our built-in risk management solution. It helps you make the right decisions, fight fraud, reduce costs, and increase conversion using powerful machine learning models trained on Adyen global transaction data and supplemented with static risk rules.

There’s no single solution for risk management; every business is different and faces unique risks. However, finding the right balance between risk management and customer experience is challenging. Adyen’s risk engine solves this challenge by helping businesses detect, stop, and respond to fraud through machine learning technology and manual risk checks.

Protect Basic and Premium

Protect Basic offers a bot attack detection and a set of standard referral list risk checks free of charge.  In contrast, Protect Premium uses machine learning models for more advanced fraud detection and includes extra features such as custom risk rules, experimentation and case management at an additional cost.
